Selkirk LABS Project 008 Maxima Pickleball Paddle
Skill Level:

Product Description
With the release of the Selkirk LABS Project 008 pickleball paddle comes a new paddle shape, the Maxima, after months of testing and refining from Selkirk LABS, Selkirk’s research and development division.
The Maxima paddle shape is the latest wide-body shape with an elongated handle, popular with players who use a two-handed backhand and want the added reach. With the Maxima shape, you get more surface area and a generous (and forgiving) sweet spot that helps avoid mishits.
Players who use a 2-handed backhand or want extra reach will benefit from the Maxima paddle shape. It is also a great paddle shape option for players who prefer a large sweet spot and surface area.
The Project 008 features two core innovations:
- PureFoam Core is hyper-responsive while resisting deformation over time.
- Thermoformed Construction with Additional Foam Wall expands the sweet spot for extra forgiveness.
With its advanced materials and tailored shapes, the LABS Project 008 16mm paddle raises the bar for hybrid performance paddles, empowering players to dominate the court with power, precision, and confidence.

How do I choose the right pickleball paddle?
Everyone’s playing style is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all paddle. We recommend starting with our Paddle Picker Quiz to narrow down options. You can also watch our YouTube pickleball paddle reviews, ask players at your local club, or chat with our team via live chat or phone for personalised recommendations.
How long will my paddle/Order take to arrive?
We aim to ship all paddle orders the same day using Royal Mail Tracked 48, which typically arrives within 2 working days. Need it faster? Expedited shipping is available upon request for an additional fee.
What’s your return policy on paddles?
If your paddle isn’t the right fit, you can return it within 30 days as long as it’s in new, unused condition. Just contact our support team to arrange a hassle free return or exchange.
Do pickleball paddles come with a warranty?
Yes. Most major brands include a manufacturer's warranty, typically covering defects in materials or workmanship such as core crushing, delamination . Warranty length varies by brand, and our team is happy to help you submit a claim if needed.
